Variants and Related Words

• Bùm: An onomatopoeia for a dull, heavy sound, often of an explosion or something hitting a solid surface (e.g., - the balloon popped with a bang). Contrasts with bõm, which is specifically for water.
• Ọp ẹp: An onomatopoeia for a squelching or squishy sound, like walking in mud. Differs from bõm as it describes a wet, sucking sound rather than an impact on water.

Synonyms
